Well, after 5 days without much access to news or Internet, I’m flooded with loads of email and news. Just got some bits and pieces from NTV7 and Tv3 Nightline buletines. Among the major news to rock us this week is obviously the private photos of Selangor state assemblyman for Bukit Lanjan, Elizabeth Wong. Besides that, the King’s “warning” on believing bloggers, the flood of statistics confirming economic recession, and spat between MIC and UMNO Youth over Bukit Selambau by-election candidate. Then, there’s the suspension of new Perak MB and his 6 EXCOs by the state speaker, which effectively puts the whole state assembly into a mess. Of course, we can’t leave out the alleged killing of 6 criminals in Kulim nor the lack of medical attention for ISA detainee Uthayakumar which may result in a toe amputation. Let’s see what else I missed – Selangor MB files suit against Khir Toyo, ISA detainee Manoharan (assemblyman for Kota Raja) denied release, and another interesting news today:
Royal duo in cafe brawl
SUBANG JAYA: Two members of the Selangor royalty tested positive for drugs after being involved in a brawl at a cafe here early yesterday morning.
The two, along with five others, were injured in the fight and were taken to the University Malaya Medical Centre by police immediately for treatment.
Later, accompanied by two women, the two lodged a police report at the Subang district police station.
Selangor Chief Police Officer Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar confirmed the incident, adding all seven were subjected to urine tests, but only the two members of royalty tested positive for drugs.
“They have been released on police bail,” said Khalid, adding police were also investigating the motive for the fight.
“Let us conduct our investigations. Those who are found guilty will be charged.”It was, however, learnt that the two royals, in their 20s, had gone to the Chanai cafe on Jalan SS15/4 to have supper about 1.30am.
Sources said when they finished, they called for the bill and on seeing the amount, one of them threw the bill to the ground.
“A commotion suddenly ensued and one of the royals grabbed a mug and smashed it on the shopowner’s head.
“Within seconds, other workers in the cafe joined the brawl and it became a free for all,” said a source.
It was learnt that several patrons had to intervene and break up the fight.
Police arrived at the scene within minutes and detained seven for investigations.
The cafe owner was treated at the hospital with seven stitches for a head wound.
